Garden Tour Minus Two Days : These were taken on May 28th.  The Garden Tour for Gilbert House starts Friday.  Pretty close to being ready.  Lots in bloom and looks pretty sharp, if I do say so myself.

Lytes Cary Manor, Somerset : A small but interesting medieval manor house, former home of Henry Lyte, a 16th century herbalist. In the 20th century it was rescued from dereliction by Sir Walter Jenner, who refurbished the interiors in period style. Its Arts & Crafts-style garden is an intimate combination of outdoor rooms, topiary, statues and herbaceous borders. The gardens are not huge but are kept in immaculate condition and are interesting throughout the year.

Dale's Garden April 2008 : Bergenia, Grape Hyacinth, Daffodils, Forsythia, Heath, Hyacinth, Flowering Quince, Hebe, Magnolia, Osmanthus, PJM Rhododendron, Red Currant and  Hellebores are all in bloom. The weather has been very cold with record low highs and night temps below freezing.  I removed the wrapping on my banannas mid-March and I'm afraid I may have lost them.  We'll see.
The weather got real warm the 13th and 14th and more plants came into bloom - Weeping Cherry, Wild Cherry, Camperdown Elm, Camellia and Bleeding Heart.  Other plants expanded wildly and the pond was fired up - all 3 waterfalls going, filter cleaned and ready to go and the main fountain uncovered and running.  Now we're talking!!
Last weekend 85 today (April 19th) snowing and 32!  All the pots in the greenhouse for a week, RATZ!

Dale's Garden February 2008 : In February the spring and even summer bloomers are starting to come through.  The late January, early February rain, snow, freeze had delayed some stuff but they're definitely on their way.  The Witch Hazel is in it's glory as are the white Hellebores.
